What is your 2022-2023 interview and selection process? Applications are received from ERAS and reviewed by the Program Director and a group of Lawndale FMR faculty and residents. Particular attention is paid to:
CV, Personal Statement, LORs that reflect Lawndale FMR’s mission and vision.
MPSE/Medical School Transcripts, USMLE 1+2 (or COMLEX 1+2)
Interviews are conducted November through January. Interviews for the 2022-2023 recruitment season will be a combination of in-person and virtual. Both in-person and virtual interviews are conducted with best practices for limiting bias (e.g. blinded interviews, standardized/behaviorally-based questions, etc.) and your interview preference for in-person or virtual will not affect your rank. We recognize each applicant is unique and want to support each applicant as best we can in this process.
Candidates will be invited for interviews via email. Interview offers go out in October after the interview selection committee has had the opportunity to review applications in detail.
The entire interview and selection process does not consider gender, sexual orientation, age, race, religion, ethnicity, or place of residence.
